And then I want to announce my new publication. In 2009, Ursula LeGuin, science fiction and fantasy writer, feminist, thinker, celebrated her 80th birthday. Karen Joy Fowler and I put together a “festschrift,” a volume to mark the occasion. The original idea was Kim Stanley Robinson’s.

Aqueduct Press is releasing the book formally next month for LeGuin’s 81st birthday, but to my surprise and delight, Timmi Duchamp, Aqueduct’s guiding genius, has just announced a lower-priced presale ($4 off the $19 cover price).

The book has essays, poetry, and original fiction. Contributors include Karen Joy Fowler, Andrea Hairston, Ellen Kushner, John Kessel, Gwyneth Jones, Kim Stanley Robinson, Nisi Shawl, and many more. I have a short essay in the book, and Lynn Kendall, who frequently comments here and recommends topics, has a longer one.
